South Carolina now has more power to keep guns away from the mentally ill.
Gov. Nikki Haley signed the law Friday.
It lets the state report mentally ill people to a national background check database.
Two months ago, a woman tried to shoot others at a Charleston Middle School.
She passed the background check, even though she had previously claimed mental incompetence in court.
